• Last night in Budapest

    August 3 in Turkey ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Went out early to miss the crowds in Buda. This is the old part of Budapest. Had a lovely breakfast at a local cafe. Everything was home made.

    Catching the local buses has been a breeze. We were dropped right in the middle of the Buda square and in front of the most beautiful church. As it was Sunday, entrance was free as long as you stayed for Mass. Mathias Chrurch

    What an experience that turned out to be. We had an amazing Organisit who also sang in the most beautiful voice. Just his music alone made it a very special service.

    Don’t mind the old biddy beside me who go upset with me because I was searching on my phone for the Liturgy so I could follow the service in English.

    We spent a lovely morning walking through the Buda castle area and enjoyed the spectacular views across the river.

    Parliament House was simply stupendous in its beauty.

    A short disappointing trip to the Central Market. Most of the stalls were closed as they don’t work Sunday. The only stalls open were souvenir shops.

    A quick nap and then off to our dinner cruise on the river. Boy or boy! We asked if we could be moved closer to the side of the boat and they ended up moving us to to the top! We had such stunning views of the river on both sides. This was such a highlight for us.
